Chiralaine Natschke, LCPC

Chiralaine Natschke is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 18 years of experience in behavioral health. She focuses on thoughts and everyday habits alongside issues like anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, and career concerns. She uses practical goal-setting to help people make steady changes.

Chiralaine draws on several well-known therapy styles to match each person’s needs. She favors clear goals after a short assessment, then plans sessions that work toward those goals. Sessions are collaborative and paced to fit what a person can realistically manage.

Her background includes roles as a mental health therapist, school counselor, child welfare supervisor, and crisis screener. That variety gives her experience with mood disorders, trauma and abuse, obsessive-compulsive patterns, panic, ADHD, and relationship and family difficulties. She also works with issues like impulsivity, guilt and shame, and multicultural concerns.

In the room she uses hands-on techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches, acceptance-based work, and mindfulness to help people notice thought patterns and shift daily habits. Clients set concrete steps and track progress between meetings. She emphasizes practical tools more than abstract talk.

Chiralaine encourages a collaborative, straightforward style. She asks about goals up front and reviews progress regularly. The work is most effective when people come ready to try new behaviors and practice them between sessions.

How her approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without fighting them and then choose values-based actions. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and changing unhelpful habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them with practical homework to reduce worry and improve sleep and mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationship patterns affect current trust and intimacy, which can help with family and relationship strains.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is seen.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which online formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice new skills in their everyday routines and bring real-life situations into session for discussion.
